The ugly daughter-in-law of a peasant family wants to shake things up

Chapter 123 Iced Sour Plum Soup

Meng stared angrily at the wooden pile beside her: "Why are you still standing there? I didn't hear A Ran say that he brought delicious food back!"

Xie Siheng lowered his head to work and didn't seem to hear his mother's words.

Meng slapped him angrily: "You, you, sooner or later I won't be so angry with you, why did I raise a lump like you!"

"Aran, mother is here!" Meng shouted as she walked out.

Jiang Ran ran in with a vegetable basket and shouted loudly: "Mom and dad, come here, I brought you something good that you haven't eaten before, it's very delicious!"

"Aunt Jiang, please cut the watermelon!"

Chen Xing, who was busy in the kitchen, quickly washed her hands and took the watermelon from the lady's hand.

"Miss, this...is this iced watermelon?" Chen Xing was stunned by the coolness on her hands.

You must know that this is a remote small county town far away from Chang'an City.

Why is there anything cold here?

The young lady is still a girl from the country. How can the young lady have something cold?
For a time, Chen Xing had countless questions.

"I'll tell you later. Hurry up and cut the watermelon for everyone to try, otherwise it won't taste good in a while!"

Jiang Ran urged.

Chen Xing immediately suppressed the doubts in her heart and cut the watermelon.

Jiang Xiu took a bowl, and Jiang Ran poured a bowl alone.

"Mom and dad, try it quickly, this is good stuff!"

Jiang Fusheng and Jiang Dazhu looked at the red grape juice-like substance in the bowl.

I thought about what good thing it could be to make this girl so happy.

The two of them didn't take it seriously, just picked it up and drank heavily.

The moment they took the drink into their mouths, their eyes lit up and they shouted with their mouths closed.

"How does it taste?" Jiang Ran smiled and narrowed his eyes.

The two men were reluctant to swallow it and savored the taste in their mouths.

This stuff tastes so good, ice cold, sour and sweet.

They had never had anything so delicious.

"Mom, try it quickly. You must have never drank it before!" Jiang Ran poured a bowl for Meng.

Just after taking it and smelling it, Meng felt the cold air coming to her face.

She was a little afraid to drink this red stuff.

Like blood.

"Here!" Jiang Ran handed Xie Siheng a bowl.

Xie Siheng took a look at Jiang Ran and guessed where such good things came from. Thinking of Jiang Ran's miserly temperament, he didn't mind at all.

He took a sip.

"How's it going? How's it going? Isn't it pretty good!" Jiang Ran immediately came up and said, "Let me tell you, I got this from Shopkeeper Zhou with the hardware grass, that's all!"

"If you like to drink it, I'll get you some more later!"

Jiang Ran looked at Xie Siheng eagerly, waiting for his praise.

"It tastes good!" Xie Siheng said.

Jiang Ran beamed happily: "I knew you liked it too!"

"By the way, has our house built an ice cellar?" Jiang Ran suddenly had an idea in his mind.

It shouldn't take long for her to make the ice, and she'll have to have a place to store it.

"No!" Xie Siheng raised his eyebrows: "I haven't heard you say it before, so there is no plan. The ice cellar is used to store ice. We don't have ice here, and we can't afford it if we do. The ice cellar might be useless! "

"Who said that!" Jiang Ran's brows could dance with pride: "While the workers are still here, hurry up and see where you can make an ice cellar. You must make one, and it should be bigger!"

"You don't have to think about other things!"

"Mom, Liu Lang has already drank, why haven't you drank yet?" Jiang Ran was still staring at Meng.Meng was still a little scared: "Liu Lang, how does this taste? If it tastes as bad as medicine, I won't drink it!"

Xie Siheng said slowly and softly: "Mom, this is sour plum soup, it's just iced, sour and sweet!"

"Sister, I want to drink too!"

"Pangpang, I want to drink too!"

Before he finished speaking, three little paws had already touched the sour plum soup.

Jiang Ran poured them a small bowl each.

The three little guys held the bowls and drank sips, as if they were drinking some delicious wine.

Meng was afraid that they would have a stomachache after drinking too much, so she quickly stopped them: "You two, drink less, or you may have a stomachache!"

Jiang Ran immediately said: "That's right, listen to grandma, or I will never let you drink it again!"

The little guy who drank in big gulps immediately turned into sipping in small sips.

"Dad, brother, do you want to quench your thirst?" Jiang Ran asked again.

Jiang Fusheng wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "It tastes good. This is the first time in my life that Dad has tasted something so delicious. It's even better than the mung bean soup made by your mother!"

"Hehe, then I will let dad drink enough in these two days!"

"Mom, are our basins enough?" Jiang Ran paused and said, "It's for the pot!"

"It was enough, but it's not enough because there are so many people at home recently!"

Jiang Ran hissed and looked up at the sky.

She called Jiang Xiu: "Aunt Jiang, look at what else is missing in the kitchen, and go to the county town to buy it right now!"

Jiang Ran directly took out a tael of silver and gave it to her.

Jiang Xiu stared at it for a long time without daring to say: "Xiao..., Miss, can you just give me the money?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Xiucai found that his voice was trembling.

Jiang Ran yelled: "You go shopping, who will give it to you if I don't give you the money!"

"Take it!"

Jiang Xiu still didn't answer: "Miss, this is only one tael of silver. Aren't you afraid that I'll buy something cheap and say it's too expensive for you? Hide some secretly?"

"Afraid!" Jiang Ran didn't hesitate: "If you really do this, I won't know, but now that you ask me, I know you won't do it!"

"Aunt Jiang, although I bought you, you are not servants in my heart. If one day you want to leave, I will give you the deed of sale without asking you for anything. Where do you want to go?"

Jiang Xiu was so moved that she wiped away her tears: "Miss, you are such a good person. Our family is lucky to meet you!"

"As long as you don't drive us away, we will never leave!"

"We'll talk about the future later. I don't even know where I will raise cats in the future!"

Jiang Ran said casually, and then shouted: "Uncle Chen, you and Aunt Jiang eat some watermelon before you go!"

Chen Wu and Jiang Xiu were stunned again.

Watermelons usually don’t arrive until the end of June or the beginning of July. Today’s watermelons are all early-ripening ones, which are difficult to buy and expensive.

The lady actually let them eat watermelon without any hesitation.

This really treats them as a family.

Jiang Xiu saw her man nodding, then took a small piece and ate it.

Chen Wu also took a small piece, and the two of them finished the watermelon as quickly as possible before heading to the county seat.

The three little guys didn't finish the sour plum soup, and A Chu even gave his own to the tangerine peel.

Chen Pi is a child after all, and he must be greedy for delicious food.

But she just watched and refused to drink no matter what A Chu said.

Ah Chu complained to Jiang Ran anxiously: "Mom, please let Sister Chen Pi drink it quickly. She won't listen to what I say!"

"Did Chen Pi hear that? Ah Chu said you didn't listen to what she said!" Jiang Ran was half-joking.
